From the lesson

We All Can Lead: Becoming an Adaptive Leader

In this module, we will be discussing the need in healthcare for distributive leadership that is adaptive. The complexity of healthcare prevents one leader from micromanaging a healthcare system, and leadership must be encouraged on the front lines of care. Effective leaders are good listeners, empathetic, follow their principles (North Star) and are courageous. Adaptive or innovative leaders are a necessity for improving the quality and safety of healthcare. The strategies for controlling emotional disequilbrium will be addressed, and specific analogies presented to assist students in understanding how to practice leadership that will bring about change.
